Batista is a busy actor in Hollywood. However, he still has immense passion for WWE and it was rumored that The Animal wanted a match against Triple H at WrestleMania 35. After all, Batista's career began taking off only after joining Evolution - a faction which also included Ric Flair, Randy Orton, and Triple H. Triple H and Ric Flair were mentors to The Animal. Thus, it would be only poetic if Batista decides to hang up his boots after having an epic rivalry involving his mentors.

At this point in his career, Batista does not need WWE. However, he wanted to work a small program as a full-timer. Such a token of dedication shows how much passion Batista still have for this business. Thus, WWE may have given the green signal to Batista to sign off his WWE career with the feud he wanted the most.
